    Depends on firm but most do after offer is made. Some do prior to interview but they will let you know before they do.

    Does anyone know how many people make it past the WG/SJT for CC and A&O? Is it a big cut off or is it not too big a difference?

    In the A&O application portal, the under review has got a green checkmark on it - does that mean anything more than the fact that the application deadline has passed and they are now looking at the apps?

    What is the feedback and review email? I got a feedback report automatically and now got a "feedback and next steps" - it seems like an automated email so not sure it means much more than just that they've started looking at it no?
